We’re excited to announce a new partnership with AIR MILES in Canada, where new Uber riders will earn Miles after completing their first trip in any of our Canadian cities. To celebrate, today only in Toronto, Ottawa, Edmonton, Montreal, and Quebec City, request an Uber, and you might just be gifted mystery Miles from your driver!

To celebrate Mother’s Day, we went behind the wheel with some amazing and proud moms that are hard-working Uber Partners. Read on to learn why Uber is the perfect fit for their busy, family-oriented lives.
